‘TRON: ARES’ isn’t without its flaws, but it pushes the franchise into an exciting new frontier with an industrial edge thanks to Nine Inch Nails’ propulsive score.

NYT: A Campaign to 'Bring Back Bullying'

On social media, some are arguing that bullying deserves a second look. Trolling or not, the push seems to reflect a general turn away from sensitivity.

it was not a weekend news dump and now they’re making up a thing about how they’re going to withhold back pay, which is just straightforwardly black letter law now. they got nothing and Vought is having the worst work day of his life right now.

ghost malone ergo propter malone @proptermalone.bsky.social · 4d

still no real naked exercise of executive power justified by the shutdown.

my dad thinks it’s still coming and they’re going to do whatever Vought has cooking as a weekend news dump, and he’s pretty sharp, so maybe. still think the longer it goes the more it isn’t really happening

To me, the beginning of Miller's (typically unhinged) rant is the most important part. He's saying that ICE resources have been reprioritized to deal with these "terrorists." That means that protesters are successfully impeding their progress and should feel good about continuing to do so.

CNN: Isn't that hyperbolic to call them terrorists?

STEPHEN MILLER: No. If anything I'm understating the severity of the situation

A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace Episode 1:

Oh man, we got another Bocchi archetype here and it makes sense because I have met this kind of artist person a few times over the years. Also, dear god this is going to be a very long and drawn out yuri courtship.

New girlfailure(s) yuri dropped

A screenshot of the anime "A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace". It is Futami saying "On top of that, my edito, Sato-san, is basically a hottie."

Futami crying in an adorable way after her background artist sent in her storyboards.

Sato holding a phone, blushing, while thinking "The idea of complimenting her directly gets me all shy."

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I think if a state consistently elects evil people by a large (like 5+ points) margin, people should be able to say it sucks without a bazillion caveats and apologies.

there’s always a big stupid discourse on this website about how southern states are full of good people and but for the interference of the politicians, they’d all vote the right way, but abbott won by more than ten points in the last election, maybe texas just fucking sucks

The things the aggrieved are saying are the same things they were saying when forums populated the Earth 20 years ago. I honestly wish they would make the jump so I would not have to heard about the big old mean nasty mods and chief admin.
